Tying of the Thali or nuptial thread is a paramount rite of a Hindu Wedding. In this service, all other wedding rituals are excluded, and the groom ties the nuptial thread around the neck of the bride in front of the deity instead of the ritual fire. The priest will perform prayers and hand over the nuptial thread to the groom in the presence of the couple’s parents, relatives and friends. It is important that the couple produce their marriage certificate to the temple office in order to book this service.
